Money Puzzle Blues

Post by Aquatarkus »

Would you believe it's possible to do worse on this game than doing nothing? If you don't touch anything and just let the screen ease down you'll get 5 points (score 0=1, level 5=2, chains 0=1, max chain 0=1), but if you pull the screen down quickly you get 4 points (score 0=1, level 2=1, chains 0=1, max chains 0=1).
<p>

The sad part is it's possible to get 4 points in a real game - I've done it at least 3 times. What happened each time is I tried setting up a complicated opening chain and didn't get it started before it hit bottom. With no chains, and dying on level 4, the blown play only scores 4 :(

You know, I have only been able to play the game in earnest for only
a week or so, and I still haven't got all the damn quirks of the game
worked out. I need help seriously, only PB is 41. How do you rack up
the big points in this game?

I don't really know how to play well but i'm imagining it's a lot like
chess where you have to think ahead of what moves will happen when
coins are exchanged dissapear to move levels down and intersect with
other like coins. I haven't figured out any strategy other than try
to stay alive as long as you can with out using the magic coins and
then having kept the like magic coins at the bottom level when the
screen is full, douse the magic coins and hope you get a big chain :)

<p>

I suspect there is some strategy in trying to keep larger valued coins
at the top and smaller valued coins at the bottom but since the screen
moves down it's impossible to do that. I hope i can at least break 40
someday.

<p>

I like this game a lot but what i don't like about it is that i do
better NOT playing my favorte character "everyworker". I got a 39
with that guy with the silver JAWS teeth says Begin in Japanese when
you make one chain (like that's supposed to help me continue the chain
:)
